RUSSIAN  ANECDOTES

    Russian humor is very strong. If somebody doesn't know or not sure about it the most probably he or she is not russian speaking person.  The limit of popularity the russain humor "abroad" consist in the limit of translation (some word doesn't not  have  english equivalent ), knowledge of tradition, character and ... of the people. Nontheless this page is an  attempt to  translate that is possible to translate in english and seems  possible to understand by the foreigner. This is kind of experiment it would be great if you could send (after finishing reding) some results (number; understand/not understand; funny/not funny)  on e-mail address. to make possible some analysis. Thinks a lot///
